Unlike many of Shakespeare's plays, Macbeth presents no problem in chronology.been produced before 1603. That fact is obvious from the topical allusions to King James in the script; and various other clues all go to suggest that Macbeth was first played in the year 1606.
The original Macbeth was the son of a Scottish hereditary ruler who had been murdered by his nephews. Macbeth, too, came to a violent end: he was killed in battle in 1078. Freely interpreting Holinshed's account of those troublous times, Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth as poignant an indictment of human nature as he did only a little later in Lear.

At the age of five Francescatti made his debut in public, and at ten he won great success with his brilliant interpretation of Beethoven's Violin Concerto. He has appeared in all the leading musical centres of Europe and played with most of the big orchestras - Vienna Philharmonic, Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, Colonne, Lamoureux, and Straram, to mention only a few.
An Appeal on behalf of The Victoria Hospital, Lewes, Sussex, by Cyril Maude
The Lewes Victoria Hospital, founded in 1887 and rebuilt in 1909, is a very small hospital of only fourteen beds and two cots, and serves Lewes and the surrounding district: a total population of about 15,000. The accommodation is inadequate for the district it serves, which, being agricultural, is a poor one.
The necessary extensions include new wards, extension of the existing wards, a nurses' hostel, and further X-ray equipment.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to Cyril Maude, [address removed]

The Gondoliers- was the twelfth in the long series of Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Operas and one of the most successful, although it had not quite so long a run as the 700 consecutive nights of H.M.S. Pinafore, or the 672 nights of the Mikado. By command of Queen Victoria it was specially performed at Windsor Castle before Her Majesty and the Court. But it has a less happy interest than that. It was during its run that there occurred the unfortunate quarrel between the two associates, which looked as though it were to bring to an end the long line of joyous operas it gave us. Not for some years were they reconciled, producing their thirteenth opera together in 1893. (Soloist, ALBERT SANDLER> )
